On September 7, 2012 the Escondido Police Department conducted a DUI Sobriety / Drivers License Checkpoint in the area of Lincoln and Fig. Officers were also assigned to roving DUI patrol in the City until 3 AM.

Under a new state law, drivers whose ONLY offense was being UNLICENSED to drive were given the opportunity to locate the registered owner of the vehicle to either take or assign possession of the vehicle to a licensed driver. Twelve vehicles were released to the owner or a designated driver. During the checkpoint, four vehicles were impounded.

Results of the roving DUI patrol are not included.

Following are other results from this event:

2660 vehicles drove through the checkpoint.

890 vehicles were screened in primary.

1 driver gave conflicting information about his identity and was finally identified at the Police Department during a fingerprint search. It was determined he was driving on a suspended license, had previous arrests for DUI and was also illegally in the country. He was turned over to ICE.
